This PSI programme (formerly known as PSOM programme) aims to stimulate private sector development in developing countries and emerging markets. PSI provides companies with additional grant financing to enable innovative investments with local partners. In 2009, 52 countries qualified for the PSI programme, including fragile states for which the PSI Plus programme offers more favourable terms and conditions. Albania Ghana Nicaragua Armenia Guatemala Pakistan Bangladesh Honduras Peru Benin Indonesia The Philippines Bolivia Kenya Rwanda Bosnia and Herzegovina Kosovo Senegal Brazil Macedonia South Africa Burkina Faso Madagascar Sudan Cape Verde Malawi Suriname Colombia Mali Tanzania Ecuador Moldova Thailand El Salvador Mongolia Uganda Egypt Morocco Vietnam Ethiopia Mozambique Yemen Gambia Namibia Zambia Georgia Nepal PSI Plus Afghanistan The Palestinian Authority southern Sudan Burundi Sierra Leone More than 200 applicants showed interest in the PSI programme in 2009. In total 101 successful applicants have been granted a PSI subsidy to seize the business opportunity they have identified in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe or Latin America. In this booklet you will find an overview of these innovative and at times unexpected projects, ranging from mechanised agriculture in Sierra Leone, a cardiac care clinic in Uganda, to processing of traditional sauces in Yemen, production of pig farming equipment in Moldova or a dairy factory in Peru. The brief descriptions of each project will offer insights into the purpose of the new business ventures as well as the impact they will have on the local economy.
